Package: sudo
Version: 1.6.8p7-1.3
Severity: normal

the new behaviour regarding env sanitising is not reflected in
the sudoers or the sudo manpages and there is no news.debian file in 
the sarge package; one must read the security announcement very precisely 
to find out how to deal with the change.

the sudo -V output is now misleading: it gives a very incomplete list of
env vars that are removed.

it is not clear how the change interacts with env_reset, _keep and _check;
specifically one has to experiment to find out that the new change
is not equivalent to env_reset (and that env_reset is not on by default).

(i wonder why the new behaviour wasn't implemented in terms of defaulting
to env_reset and a tightening of that list?)

env_check, the currently suggested way of keeping vars does not work
for things like XAUTHORITY or anything else that looks like a path.

it is somewhat complicated to find out that env_keep is honored only
if env_reset is on. the only way to keep something like XAUTHORITY
is to use 
        Defaults env_reset, env_keep+="XAUTHORITY"
in sudoers. it would be really nice if there was some example in a
news.debian (the example sudoers doesn't include anything related).

it is absolutely unclear from the visudo manpage how the env_* options
interact: precedence of _check vs _keep, _keep vs. _delete and so on. 
together with the undocumented new behaviour this has made adjusting 
to the new safer sudo harder than necessary, i think.

az
